    "It gets on my nerves that Dubois is ahead of me, as is Hrgović. Dubois suffered a heavy defeat against me and he has a chance to box for the title before me. It's out of my control, but it can only happen in boxing," he said. Joyce at the press conference and added.

    "Nothing can surprise me anymore when it comes to boxing. It's up to me to be patient and wait for my chance. I'll keep beating my opponents and then I'm sure the title will come. I'm full of confidence and nothing can stop me." he concluded.

    Joyce has miles better management than Hrgovic and he had better opponents and I understand his anger, it is logical to expect that he will get a chance to fight for the title before Hrgovic.

    Joyce would slaughter anyone who's close to being a mandatory for any of the belts.

    Joe Joyce is the man. He would terrorize any pseudo-boogeyman like Jalolov or Makhmudov and he shows all the prospects and up and coming contenders how to cement your place in the division.

    Joe Joyce was offered the IBF final eliminator fight with Hrgovic, and he turned it down.

    So Hrgovic deserved to fight for a world title before Joyce.

    Jalalov is actually better than Joyce, although Joyce has the advantage of having better promotion.

    Right now in the Heavyweight division it feels like no one is fighting anyone at the moment...

    It’s ok Joe, Fury said in the ring after the Chisora fight that if the Usyk fight couldn’t be made that he’d fight you next..

    Oh wait, nothing Fury says actually matters.

    Yeah and so is Dubois who he mangled a few years ago. Makes no sense. Maybe he's being blacklisted

    The only man capable of beating Joe Joyce is Tyson Fury.

    Once Fury Usyk have done their business they'll leave the belts for Joyce to fight for...and Wilder will probably snipe one and AJ.

    I wish more fighters were like Joyce. All business, confident but not arrogant. I get the sense that he genuinely enjoys fighting. Seems like a throwback.

    Why should Joyce be fighting in an eliminator when he’s already beat the names he has? Hrgovic aint done ****. Boxing is such a flawed sport, Joyce has worked his way to mandatory contendership.

    He was offered the eliminator with Hrgovic two years ago, before he beat Parker. Hrgovic would have a better resume if people like Parker and Joyce hadn't ducked him.
